The Limestone Wiki is composed of three major parts:

  1. Geology and processes in limestone
  2. Field methods and conceptual model development
  3. Modeling contaminant transport in limestone

The first part is about the geology and properties of limestone. The dominating physical processes in limestone aquifers and the equations to describe flow and transport in limestone aquifers are introduced.

The second part contains information about field methods for obtaining data about the geology and hydrogeology, the transport properties and the contaminant distribution in the aquifer. It will be shown, how data from field and lab measurements contribute to enhance the conceptual model of a contaminated limestone site.

The third part of this Wiki gives an overview of modeling tools that can be used for the interpretation and prediction of flow and transport processes in fractured limestone aquifers (Chapter Model concepts). Fracture flow and transport models with different complexity are available for the modeling of contaminant transport, ranging from simple spreadsheet tools to advanced models that incorporate the fracture geometry. The suitability of the different models to simulate field data and to represent typical features of fracture flow and transport based on a field example are discussed. This chapter includes step-by-step instructions, how to set up a numerical model based on the Akacievej example, and recommendations for a good modeling practice will be made.
